We had practice on both Sunday & Thursday night , Sunday was a good practice but Thursday night it seemed like no one really wanted to be there. Richard put up with it for a little while than he snapped the whip which got them back in the practice mode. On Sunday we practice at the indoor soccer complex in Stratford, it is quite a building with 2 indoor soccer fields. It gives us a lot more room than our regular gym so we are able to do a lot of different stuff. We borrow a pitching machine so the boys can practice batting & will not get rusty. As far as batting goes I am not worried because at the Special Olympics our strength was hitting. They all hit good and not to many innings we did not score the max 5 runs, their fielding was fair so not to many innings did we give up the 5 runs.
Sunday morning we are going to Moncton, NB to play a game with the Moncton team, it will be a good test as they never seem to play good against Moncton. It will be held indoors and a fun game but would be a big boost for them if they can win. In London, On they were the only team to beat us on our drive for the Gold medal so fun game or not it will be a real test.
We have practice again Thursday night and next Sunday we will have the second fitness test on the players. They were done in October and the results will be compared to see just how much they have improved. Hope they all do well but I am worried about a couple of them as they don't seem to really try all that hard.
That is all for now folks, will keep you posted on our little road trip.
Till next time
Lew.
